Step 01: Get Access Key
First step is to get an Access Key from Web3Forms. Create Access Key​
Once you submit the form, you will get the Access key in your Email. Copy that key so that we can use this later.
Step 2: Create HTML Form
Create a form in your website with our form endpoint inside action attribute. Following is a simple example on how it should look like:

    <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://web3forms.com/success">
    <button type="submit">Submit Form</button>
​

<form action="https://api.web3forms.com/submit" method="POST">
​
    <!-- REQUIRED: Your Access key here. Don't worry this can be public -->
    <!-- Create your Access key here: https://web3forms.com/ -->
    <!-- <input type="hidden" name="apikey" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE"> -->
    <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE">
​
    <!-- Optional: Can be type="hidden" or type="text" for subject -->
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="New Submission from Web3Forms">
  
    <!-- Optional: From Name you want to see in the email
          Default is "Notifications". you can overwrite here -->
    <input type="hidden" name="from_name" value="Your Website Name">

    <input type="hidden" name="ccemail" value="[email protected]">
​
    <!-- Optional: default replyto will be "email" (if available), 
         you may overwrite here -->
    <input type="hidden" name="replyto" value="[email protected]">
​
    <!-- Required: if submitting without Javascript 
         (because by default web3form outputs json) -->
​
    <!-- If javascript, use "window.location.hash" for redirects -->
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://web3forms.com/success">
​
    <!-- Optional: But Recommended: To Prevent SPAM Submission. 
         Make sure its hidden by default -->
    <input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" id="" style="display: none;">
    
    <!-- Webhooks: Send your form data to Notion, Google Sheets or Zapier.
         This feature available to PRO & Starter Plan users only -->
    <input type="hidden" name="webhook" value="WEBHOOK_URL_HERE" />
